I was in Sam’s Club this evening buying some supplies for the month and found a heck of a deal in the computer area. Well a couple, first they had 320GB SATA Western Digital Drives for $49.99. I thought that was pretty darn good. But my bays are all full w/ 500GB drives.
The second better deal was for the Western Digital “My Book” World Edition 1 with Terabyte of storage. This thing is Gigabit ethernet and 1 Terabyte… For…. $299… Wow. I don’t need that storage but it is such a compaq form factor I am got it for backups of my pics and music.

My appologies. Upon closer inspection I realized that I compared apples and oranges. The one I linked to is the *home* edition, which is not a network drive. It is USB2/Firewire/eSATA, no network capabilities.
Costco has the same 1TB drive with network capabilities for the same $299 price.
It also looks like there are 2TB models and what have you…
